Keep your pup on a leash, protect wildlife and stay safe! When visiting lands, all pets must be leashed on a secure lead no longer than 2m.

🦌 Protect Wildlife: Loose dogs can scare, stress, or harm local wildlife, disrupting delicate ecosystems.
🐕 Protect Your Pet: Wildlife can be unpredictable and may put loose pets in danger.
👫 Protect Other Visitors: Not everyone is comfortable around dogs, and leashes help create a safe and enjoyable space for all.

🌲 Recreation in nature: where conservation and connection meet. Conservation Authorities play a vital role not just in protecting our natural environment, but in giving people the opportunity to connect with it. Whether you're hiking, birdwatching, camping, or simply enjoying a peaceful walk, spending time in nature offers significant physical and mental health benefits.

Research shows that time spent in green spaces can reduce stress, improve mood, and enhance overall well-being. Our conservation lands provide accessible, safe, and beautiful spaces for people to enjoy the outdoors, get active, and experience the restorative power of nature.

At Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority, we believe that one of the best ways to protect our environment is by encouraging people to interact with it. By experiencing nature firsthand, people develop a deeper appreciation for the land and the need to conserve it for future generations.

With a wide range of recreational opportunities available—from trails and scenic picnic areas to fishing spots or disc golf—there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Our campgrounds, conservation areas, and forests are open for you to explore, helping to foster a lifelong connection with nature while supporting your health and well-being.

Ready to experience the benefits of nature? Visit one of our conservation areas today and reconnect with the great outdoors.

We’re often asked why we don’t have ATV trails. Because conservation lands are for conservation. Under Ontario Regulation 688/21 (Rules of Conduct in Conservation Areas), motorized vehicles are prohibited. For good reason.

💚 Protect sensitive and precious wetlands, forests and habitats.

🌊 Shoreline development needs careful management — and that’s where Saugeen Valley Conservation Authority comes in.

We regulate development along Lake Huron’s dynamic shoreline to reduce erosion risks, protect property, and safeguard the environment from the impacts of climate change.

If you’re planning any shoreline work in Saugeen Shores, Kincardine, or Huron-Kinloss, contact SVCA first to confirm if a permit is required.
